Helin brings together an international cast of terrorists, from white supremacists to the Quebec Liberation Front, in this disorganized and casually misogynistic debut thriller. Retired Col. Sam Thorpe infiltrates the training camp of the Patriots, a well-armed militia group led by disgruntled ex-marine Quentin Oliver. Their goal is to steal nuclear material and construct a dirty bomb. Aided by sexy undercover FBI agent Alex Prescott (whose professional skills get far fewer mentions than her breasts) and CIA agent Bob O'Brien, Thorpe plays a dangerous game, training the militia members while secretly feeding intelligence to his government contacts. Despite a timely and topical threat and Helin's knowledgeable descriptions of military training and antiterrorism procedure, the uneven plotting and superficial characterizations fail to generate suspense.

The Angels. {Poetry} ~ Jyoti Wind
Source: fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net via Twilight on Pinterest
The Angels
They sit on high with glorious wings
unfurled in heaven's sunlight.
On earth, they wear garbs of flesh
and hang around street corners
whispering in the ears
of the homeless and down-trodden.
At sea, they swim with dolphins
and ride the giant whales
from one continental shelf
to another.
These glorious beings
tend to children's needs,
the human heart's travails,
and all manner of life
in between.
Tall, stately, glowing from the inside,
they bruise my heart
with their unconditionality,
and cook me until I'm done,
until I get it, let go,
and move on,
as they do at will,
to newer territories,
flowing in the moments
wherever the strains
call them.

Allogrooming is the name given the action when one cat grooms another. A kitten will experience this from the moment of birth, for up to 3 weeks, then the kitten will start to groom itself. Allogrooming will still occur between adult cats, especially if they have grown up together. Its primary function being to promote friendly relations rather than that of mutual hygiene.

eFax(R) Provides a High Return for Finance and Banking Pros
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/12/12 -- The financial industry is vastly different from what it was even a few years ago. From mobile applications to cloud computing, the tools of the trade are changing and finance professionals need to ensure they're equipped to keep up with the times. Business no longer exists solely in the office, and knowing how to work on the go is crucial for success. eFax® is online at www.efax.com and at
According to an "Efficiency in Wealth Management: Mobile at the Gates" report, U.S. wealth management firms have finally begun to take note of recent advances in mobile computing. Firms cognizant of this need are developing mobile strategies that consider which advisor applications should be made accessible and which mobile platforms should be supported.
eFax®, a provider of online fax services since 1996 and a brand of j2 Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: JCOM), provides the necessary solution with its full line of internet faxing services. Financial professionals no longer need to feel tied to the fax machine in order to communicate with partners, clients and coworkers. With its ability to increase document security, eFax is the perfect service for financial advisors, stock brokers and bankers hoping to close more deals and provide more services to their clients.
eFax mobile apps and online faxing services are perfect for financial professionals of all types. Whether for a large international company or small firm, eFax offers these four tips for financial professionals to communicate more efficiently with flexible cloud services: 1. View your faxes online -- Which is worse: having to hover at the fax machine waiting for an important document to come through or stopping by later only to find that your document has disappeared Both are bad for business, but there's an answer. eFax delivers faxes directly to your email inbox. It's private and it's available in the office, at home, or on the road.
2. Sign on the (virtual) dotted line -- In the financial sector, there are many occasions in which signed documents need to be turned around quickly. eFax allows financial professionals to add digitized signatures to their online documents directly from their smart phone, tablet, or computer. No need to find a printer, fax machine, or FedEx drop box.
3. Send file folders to the cloud -- eFax makes it easier to keep track of important documents by automatically storing sent and received faxes. Professionals can digitally search, tag and annotate all their documents. This feature makes it possible to move beyond the leaning stacks of unsorted documents into a world of easily searched digital files -- something that is sure to be applauded come tax season! 4. Share the big contracts -- Financial advisors and bankers have to regularly email huge proposals and contracts. Many email servers cap the size of attachments, which can block these documents from ever being delivered. In addition to its faxing features, eFax provides Large File Sharing that allows users to email files up to 1 GB -- more than enough for your typical "big deal." With eFax, it's easier to keep up with the ever-changing modern financial business environment.

From left to right, Lawrence Pakula, M.D., Sheila Pakula, Chief Executive Officer, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Edward Miller, M.D., Johns Hopkins University President Ronald J. Daniels, J.D., LL.M., President of the Johns Hopkins Hospital Ronald Peterson and The Josephine S. Sutland Professor in Newborn Medicine Edward E. Lawson, M.D.
Hopkins Children's Center neonatologist Edward (Ned) Lawson was installed as the inaugural Josephine S. Sutland Professor in Newborn Medicine, Sept. 22, in a ceremony at Johns Hopkins. The professorship is a gift from the families of Josephine and Frank V. Sutland, D.D.S., and Sheila and Lawrence Pakula, M.D., which also established an endowment for neonatal research and construction of the 45-bed neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the new The Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children's Center, opening at Johns Hopkins in April 2012. The new NICU will be known as The Sutland/Pakula Family Newborn Critical Care Center. PRESS RELEASE
In thanking the families that afternoon for their generous support of research, training and clinical care, Hopkins Children's Center Director George Dover, M.D., said: "Your names will forever be associated with neonatal care and research, and the countless children who will benefit."
And an endowed professorship, he added, "provides the stability and flexibility needed for our faculty to take advantage of the important opportunities for innovation, research and the treatment of patients."
The director of the Sutland/Pakula Family Newborn Critical Care Center, in the Division of Neonatal and Perinatal Medicine, and vice chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Hopkins Children's, Lawson joined the Johns Hopkins faculty in 1999. A 1968 graduate of Harvard College, he earned his medical degree at Northwestern University Medical School, before returning to Harvard to complete a pediatric residency and a neonatal fellowship.He joined Johns Hopkins from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was vice chair of thedepartment of pediatrics and chief of the division of neonatology. A noted expert in the neurophysiology of respiratory control in newborns, he has been a leader in transforming the Hopkins Children's Center NICU over the past 12 years, increasing its number of beds to 45, and integrating the Bayview Medical Center NICU and Hopkins Children's Center's into a single operation.
In formally accepting the professorship, Sept. 22,on behalf of the university, Johns Hopkins University President Ronald Daniels praised Lawson as "an accomplished clinician, scientist, leader and teacher who is shaping the future of neonatology.
"He has helped build out laboratory space for our research faculty, and designed what will be a world-class NICU in The Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children's Center," Daniels continued. "His research has broken new ground in our understanding of the neurophysiology of respiratory control in newborns."
A dentist in Troy-Albany, N.Y., Frank V. Sutland died in 1989 and his wife, Josephine, a longtime friend of Johns Hopkins, in 2008.Learn more. Their daughter, Sheila Pakula, is a member of The Johns Hopkins Women's Board and, like her husband, serves on the Hopkins Children's Center National Advisory Board. Lawrence Pakula is an associate professor of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins and a co-founder of Pavilion Pediatrics in Green Spring Station in Lutherville, Md. He is chairman of the board of Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital – which is co-owned by Johns Hopkins Health System and University of Maryland Medical System – and serves on the board of The Hospital for the Consumptives of Maryland (Eudowood) Foundation as well as The Robert Garrett Fund for the Surgical Treatment of Children, founded by Mary F. Jacobs, which supports pediatric surgery at Johns Hopkins.
The new Sheila S. and Lawrence C. Pakula, M.D., Fellows at Johns Hopkins are Azadeh Farzin, M.D., Adam Hartman, M.D., and Jenny Yu, M.D.
A graduate of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Farzin completed her pediatric residency at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in 2007 and a fellowship in neonatal-perinatal medicine at the University of California Los Angeles. Her recent research is focused on prevention and early diagnosis of neonatal infectious diseases. She joins Johns Hopkins this fall.
Co-director of the Neurology Intensive Care Nursery at Hopkins Children's and associate program director of the Pediatric Neurology Residency Program, Hartman received his medical degree from Northwestern University Medical School and completed his residency in pediatrics at the National Naval Medical Center and Walter Reed Army Medical Center.At Johns Hopkins, he completed both a residency in pediatric neurology and a fellowship in clinical neurophysiology/pediatric epilepsy.
Jenny Yu received her medical degree at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. She completed her pediatrics residency at Phoenix Children's Hospital in Phoenix, Az., and, recently, the Neonatal Perinatal Fellowship Program at Harvard.She is interested in developmental processes that render the immature brain vulnerable to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and neonatal seizures.

All IP addresses are compsed of two parts :
Originally, all IP addresses were classful – they belonged to Class A, B, C or D. Class D is for Multicast and is rarely used. Class E is reserved and is not currently used.
The fixed boundaries of classful addressing greatly limited the flexibility and number of addresses that can be assigned. Therefore, these boundaries were made to be fluid, and instead of Classes, the Network address was allowed to take any number of bits in the 32-bit address space. They call this the "prefix" and it is denoted with a slash ( / ) followed by the length in bits. For example, a Class C address has 24 bits for the network address, which in the classless world would be called a /24 address.
Today routers route both classful and classless protocols. For example, RIP is classful, and both BGP4 and IS-IS is classless. In reality, Class addresses are converted to Classless for routing through the Internet, since BGP4 is used across the Internet backbone.
However, when you get to the end routers where subnets exist – unless it is a private network – it uses classful addressing. Even though the subnet numbers add bits to the prefix (extended prefix) and this does not fall on the Classful borders (8, 16, 24 bits) – the prefix stays on Classful borders. ALWAYS ASSUME CLASSFUL PREFIXES FOR SUBNETS !!! When you see prefixes mentioned such as /27, it merely means that subnetting is being used (since it is not /8, /16, or /24). In this case, a Class C ( /24 ) block has subnetted the 8-bit host address space, moving the prefix 3 bits to the right.
A IP far as the Internet backbone is concerned – yes. For local networks connected to the Internet – no.
Even with the backbone, Classful addressing is so imbedded into the IP culture, that almost everyone still refers to addresses as Class A, Class B, and Class C. In addition, since the mathematics and understanding of IP is greatly simplified throught the Class concept of 8-byte boundaries, the vast majority of networks are configured and designed using Classful addressing.
Over 90% of ISP customers order one or more "Class C" blocks of addresses, and few subnet these 254-host blocks. Their technicians speak "Class A,B,C" addressing, as do most novices. Furthermore, they are not wrong !! The advent of classless addressing was backward-compatible with classful adressing. Therefore, you can design a network using Classful addressing, connect it into the Internet, and it will work flawlessly.
Routers don't care. They simply view Classful addresses as classless, and assign a prefix that equates to that particular class. They even use a "subnet mask" for all classful addresses (for example, a Class C IP address stack on a host is configured with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0). Subnets were designed to break down the Class barriers, allowing the Network/Host boundary to fall almost anywhere through the use of extended-prefixes.
For example Internet routers look at IP addresses along with their prefix.
There are 5 different address classes, where A, B, and C are the "primary" address classes, and they are the only ones you are likely to encounter. You can determine which class any IP address is in by examining the first 4 bits of the IP address.
Class A -- NNNNNNNN.nnnnnnnn.nnnnnnn.nnnnnnn
Class B -- NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.nnnnnnnn.nnnnnnnn
Class C -- NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.nnnnnnnn
Class |
Starting Bits (fixed to m bits) |
Decimal Range of First Byte |
Network Bits n bits |
Host Bits p bits |
Max Networks 2n-m |
Max Hosts 2p-2 |

Memorization tip to figure out all the ranges - just memorize the starting bits and calculate the numbers from them:
Then, add all 0's to the right to find the lowest range number. Then calculate the lowest range number of the next highest class and subtract 1 to find the highest range number. The six exceptions are:
NOTE: 1's – all zero's reserved for "this interface or this network, and all 1's reserved for all interfaces and all networks (broadcast)
Class B exceptions – although the first byte can be 172 and 192, there are two Class B network addresses that are reserved: 172.16 and 192.168
The first bits and value of the first byte
Class A ( /8 ) - begins with bit 0, and the first byte decimal value is 1 to 127
Max Networks = 126 (27 – 2) Max nodes = 16,777,214
NOTE: max networks uses 27 because the first bit is set to 0, and only the last 7 bits can vary.
NOTE: entire network 10 and 127 are reserved (10.x.x.x and 127.0.0.0)
Class B (/16) - begins with bits 10, and the first byte decimal value is 128 to 191
Max Networks = 16,384 (216-2) Max Nodes = 65,534
NOTE: max networks uses 214 because the first 2 bits are set to 10, and only the last 14 bits can vary.
NOTE: 172.16 and 192.168 are reserved (172.16.x.x and 192.168.x.x)
Class C (/24) - begins with bits 110, and the first byte decimal value is 192 to 223
Max Networks = 2,097,152 (224-3) Max Nodes = 254
NOTE: max networks uses 221 because the first 3 bits are set to 110, and only the last 21 bits can vary.
Class D – begins with bits 1110, and the first byte decimal value is 224 to 239
Class E – begins with bits 1111, and the first byte decimal value is 240 to 254
NOTE: 255 is reserved for broadcasts
*** Class D addresses are reserved for multicasting and Class E addresses are reserved for future use.


text: October 10, 2009: Recently, two Spanish officers completed two years of training and received their "Wings of Gold" (along with 14 American naval officers), in recognition of completing the grueling course required to become a naval aviator. The hardest part of the course involves learning how to land on an aircraft carrier, especially at night ("night traps," with the "trap" referring to the tail hook on the aircraft snagging the cable slung across the deck to stop the landing aircraft). Training naval aviators takes from 18-48 months, depending on the type of aircraft and specific job of the trainee. The helicopter pilots, of course, do not have to learn traps, but the less tricky (but still potentially dangerous) landing on a carrier deck (which is often moving in all directions, during rough weather.) Since 1910, over 160,000 pilots have earned their "Wings of Gold." This includes thousands of foreign pilots, who come to the United States to receive what is considered the finest naval aviator training in the world.

"One day in 1986 I was driving around in Atlanta, Georgia, my home city, and I passed though a large development of new homes," says Eleanor Smith, founder of the U.S. visitability movement. "As always, these homes had steps at every entrance." But on that day, for some reason, Smith found herself looking at the houses differently. "I thought, 'These homes could have all had access!' "I had driven past inaccessible houses thousands of time since my disability came about at age three, and I had paid the price of this lack of access when I could not go to friends' parties, when I suffered from being unable to use the bathroom when visiting other people's homes." Smith had had great difficulty finding an apartment or home she could rent as well. Smith thought about it over the next few months, she says, and came to realize that "widespread change in housing construction depended on identifying and publicizing the very few construction barriers that create the most harm: lack of a zero-step entrance, narrow interior doors, and lack of access to a bathroom." 'Visitability' means -- a no-step entrance -- wider doorways -- a bathroom one can get into and use Smith credits her involvement in ADAPT for her epiphany. "Without participating in ADAPT --a lift on every new bus -- I would have never had the epiphany of 'a zero-step entrance on every new house.'" Like the organizer she is, Smith had found a way to name the problem in simple terms that others could understand. "I joined with several other local people with disabilities and we named our organization 'Concrete Change.'" At the time they weren't using the term "visitability" but simply referring to it as "basic access." She learned of the word from a Japanese architect, a wheelchair user, who told her that in Europe activist had a term for the concept she was espousing: "visitability." "I was immediately excited about this term," she says. "It automatically makes people think 'every house,' not 'special houses. "Back then, it was generally taken as an unexamined given that only people who are currently disabled need access features in their homes," she explains. "Any term that shifted that assumption was valuable." "It defies logic to build new homes that block people out when it's so easy and cheap to build new homes that let people in," says Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D.-Ill.), chief sponsor of the bill in Congress. Why the bill? "It is currently legal for the U. S government to fund new, totally inaccessible townhouses and single-family homes," Smith explains. "HUD, FEMA, the VA, and other federal agencies do that every day." She calls the move toward federal legislation a "leap forward, a significant leap -- because it will get far more people talking and thinking about the idea." Can visitability become a political, activist movement? It already is. Although advocates have been getting visitability laws passed since the 1990s, in the past year, hundreds of stories about the concept have appeared in the media. Visitability legislation has moved onto the agendas of an increasing number of communities. Colleagues at a universal design conference a few years ago were told to "watch Eleanor." It seems to have been good advice. Smith, though, ever the organizer, credits others with the growth of the concept -- especially the Disability Rights Action Coalition on Housing, or DRACH, a national group that organizes disability advocates nationwide to push not only the national legislation but local efforts as well. But the strength of the movement, she believes, has been the idea itself. "It is so self-evident that the consequences of the lack of access for people with mobility impairments are so severe -- it's not a matter of inconvenience; it's a matter of humiliation, bladder infection. When you see how dire the consequences are, and you see how easy it is to create new houses that don't have these major barriers, then it becomes really ridiculous and outrageous that the barriers continue to be built into new homes." The key, she says, is that unlike the shift of money from nursing home to in-home services, visitability does not take money from any industry. "Visitability simply does not cost a lot of money." In houses built on concrete slabs, achieving visitability can cost $100 or less per house, says Smith. Houses with crawl spaces can achieve visitability for $500 per house. But no new idea goes unchallenged. Opponents insist the cost can often be much higher. They also argue the right of private property owners to be free of "government interference." (They forget that fire, plumbing and electric codes that homebuilders routinely follow are also "government interference.") Smith says the consequences of not building visitable homes "will really will come home to rest" on society in the near future. The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Universal Design at SUNY/Buffalo has produced the booklet "Visit-ability: an Approach to Universal Design in Housing," available for download at http://www.ap.buffalo.edu/rercud/visitabilitybook.htm -- or order from the Center for Inclusive Design & Environmental Access, School of Architecture and Planning - University at Buffalo Buffalo, NY 14214-3087 (716-829-3485 ext. 329; fax 716-829-3861; firstname.lastname@example.com) "When I see opponents spouting patently incorrect cost data, using the very worst-case scenarios, I think to myself, 'you know, you guys are never going to be rich enough to not live with the consequences of what you're trying to effect here. Only the mega-wealthy or Christopher Reeve can afford to travel constantly with three people to carry them up steps.' "They're thinking, 'Oh, it won't happen to me,' or 'Oh, I have the money to redo my own house.' Maybe. But not their son's house, not the house of the person they've played poker with for the last three decades. Then what?" An opponent of a visitability bill in Georgia told Smith "he really couldn't support it. Then, over the summer, his dad had a stroke. The next year he said, 'I see things quite differently now.'" He'd had trouble when his dad came home in getting him up the steps and through the doors. "All it took in his case," said Smith, "was coming home." Local bills pass, meet opposition For updates on local efforts, read articles from the Center for An Accessible Society. Activists in many communities are working to pass visitability laws. Some push for visitability only in homes built with public money; others push for visitability in all new homes. In 2000, a coalition led by the Vermont Assistive Technology Project got a law passed that "mandates accessibility requirements for all new residential housing (including townhouses, condominiums, etc.) constructed in Vermont," says Carol Boyer. This was also the case in Pima County, AZ, a suburb of Tucson, where advocates Bill and Collette Altaffer worked to get an Inclusive Home Design Ordinance passed. The law took effect in October. A few days before it did, some Arizona builders filed suit, insisting it violated their constitutional rights. The case, handled by the Mountain States Legal Foundation (a rightwing legal group devoted "Individual Liberty, The Right to Own and Use Property, Limited and Ethical Government and The Free Enterprise System") was dismissed by the court a few weeks later. Pittsburgh advocates are pushing Ordinance 959, requiring visitability in homes developed with city financial assistance, though Councilman Jim Ferlo, who introduced it, says he'd like to change the way all houses are built. Disability advocate and attorney Paul O'Hanlon had hoped the bill would pass this past fall. It didn't, and Ferlo has now left the City Council for the State Senate. Action on the bill on hold until March Why? Opponents have "carried more weight," according to a pro-visitability editorial in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. They include the city administration, the Urban Redevelopment Authority, commercial developers and community groups, all of whom "fear that higher costs might harm building projects." Other opponents worry "whether houses designed for disabled people will be readily bought by others" and that "visitable houses will appear different than those of their neighbors."

Every. single. year.
Hopefully this year all the daft punk fans on the board die a painful death, dissolved in the acid spit of a huge reptilian beast.
Does that mean the Stones are playing ?
Maybe that will be the end of their Coachella set for 2013 weekend 1 followed by hate speech in French to the fans.
Saturday night, main stage. Believe me or not, doesn't matter. Think Prince, last minute and mind blowing, all by design of course. They will be all over Europe this summer too, I could get fired, but i'm not the only one leaking this info so F it. :-)
So just now, you decided "F it, I'm going to leak this info with no substance?"
holy port O Potty NASTY
Coachella 09, 10, 11, 12(WK1), 13(WK2), 14(WK2), 15(WK1)
It's all about the music.
I really hope these rumors of a new album Spring 2013 are true.
I NEED some new DP in my life.
even if it were true and any of you supposed industry folk learned this information from your supposed industry... why come to this message board? Why blow the surprise? What do you think you win by posting the truth? I'm going to compare you to the assholes that ruin a surprise birthday party. I don't get it. I guess it's like me going to some Al Queda site and being like "Hey guys. don't ask me how I know, but Bin Laden isn't really dead" And all those terrorist dudes would be like "Hey fuck head, Daft Punk is still not playing Coachella"
Too soon bro.
Rumors is cool, but claiming to have it on lock, or being industry.... that's not cool. "I hope I don't get fired for this...." blah blah blah. That claim whether it's true or bullshit is a dick move either way. That's like hitting the pinata before the party starts. On the other hand speculation regarding a tour, an album, or vague comments from the chick that sucks daft punk's collective dick are totally game to discuss here. It's a fine line for me, Gentlemen.

The Christian Cullen 5yr-old has finished second in his two starts since he resumed racing after an 11-month break.
Matt Maguire was beaten half a length by Ohoka Texas over a mile at Winton in 1.56.2 when he returned to the track three weeks ago.
He followed that effort with a similar placing behind the talented Jivin Cullen at Kaikoura 11 days ago.
The winner of eight of his 31 starts, he looks well placed against moderate opposition tonight.
From two off the mobile gate tonight he is in a position to dictate terms and give a home-town win to his East Taieri co-owners, Phil and Margaret Creighton.
Wot The Owl has won 12 races, eight since he came south in May, including six at Forbury Park.
He has been successful in six of his last eight starts. Ricky May, who drove him to win at Gore 12 days ago, retains the drive.
Rockin Roll Lad, the Cran Dalgety-trained stablemate of Matt Maguire, warrants respect on his record at Forbury Park.
The nine-race winner has recorded five of those wins on the Forbury Park track, albeit over distances shorter than the 2700m he faces tonight.
Jack Trainor, the junior driver with the Dalgety stable, has his first drive behind the 4yr-old tonight.

Digbeth: Broken but Beautiful
3 5 Share TweetI travel through Digbeth everyday on my way to work; it was the first centre of industry in Birmingham and became one of the most heavily industrialised areas in the town. But now it is all falling apart, most of the factories and warehouses are empty, so this makes a great place to take my Mini Diana on her first trip out!
It was ace to walk around in the sun finding cool, condemned buildings to shoot, some had plants growing out of them, some had broken windows I managed to squeeze my Mini through and get some pretty good shots. Inside I found massive smashed skylights, abandoned tools and gas canisters, a lot of interesting things I couldn't find anywhere else or with any other camera.
It was also fun to experiment with the Diana Mini's half frame function and get these fantastic spliced together shots, half landscape, half portait or half road, half closed up building, it's a great feature! Although I don't think even with the 72 shots to play with, I could capture all the hidden gems lurking around the dilapidated, but beautiful area of Digbeth.

Most of my music is .flac files ripped from CDs, but more and more I'm purchasing and downloading the files directly - preferably in higher resolution. I play them using foobar2000, loading the complete files into system memory and pushing the sound to the DAC through Kernel Streaming. I have to admit there is a lot of Spotify listening going on too, the more music the merrier! This is all done on my most used tool, a ThinkPad X220, chosen for sound reasons not at all related to sound. |
Cable Inventory |
Halide Design DAC - the Devilsound Audio Cable. Yes, it's a cable. With a DAC in it. :D |
Other Audio Equipment |
My phone, a Sony Ericsson W902, drives my big headphones surprisingly good when I'm not at my desk. Eh, correction: it's actually more surprising when at the desk. Note that there is a BIG difference between using .mp3 files and using .wav files with this one, WAY better sound and WAY harder to navigate. I'm using .wav :) I have a Denon M31 that's driving a pair of DALI Concept 1. Due to the acoustics in my current room these small speakers are now standing on top of each other in a corner and playing in mono - any other positioning is rather headache-inducing. Thus, my Head-Fi journey has started. |
Music Preferences |
Acoustic jazz/pop/rock/blues, synthy pop/rock from the 70's and 80's, a select portion of mainstream pop/rock from early 90's and onwards... I shy away from more or less all extremes, and I rejoice with more or less anything that is well done. Artist examples: Chris Jones, Norah Jones, Eric Bibb, Supertramp, Electric Light Orchestra, Electric Banana Band, Dire Straits, Seal, Alicia Keys, Amy Macdonald, KT Tunstall... that's enough for now. Someday I'll make a Grooveshark profile or revive my anonymous Spotify profile, so that you can take a listen in an easy way. |
Gear-Fi (Favorite Non-Audio Gear & Gadgets) |
My absolute favorite piece of gear is my HP 50g - a calculator... and now you know quite a lot about me. Maybe my first ThinkPad, a 14" T43, should be mentioned here too. It's sad that computers get old, otherwise I could've kept that one forever. My city bike - a Gary Fisher Monona - is something astonishing: it's my primary mode of transportation, and it's giving me great joy on a daily basis. A somewhat humble bike that's everything but humble once you ride it. Great is what it is. |

"A New Favorite Author"
If you like Neil Gaiman, you may like Mieville. I would not describe this story so much as horror (some of Gaiman's stories are more so), but a philosophical fantasy. Kraken has less steam-punk and science fiction than some of Mieville's other stories, although it has plenty of the fantastic. It is a riot. In this story, it is centered very much in the alternate reality of the City of London, which is a major character in Kraken. If you are an architect or interested in cities, you may love it for this reason alone, but if you are interested in more intellectual sci-fi-fantasy with other influences of science and religion, you may also like it. The characters, moreover, are also more developed, or memorable, than some of his other stories. Lastly, the narration, by John Lee, is of course superb. I listened to it twice.

ABAK ATAMA SOUP serves 4-6,
This is a rich-palm nut soup, highly spiced and flavoured with the aromatic atama leaves (a spicy aromatic leave that could be used dried or fresh). The dried leaves are a lot more pungent in flavour.

Ion Enhancement Effect of Laser-Enhanced Ionization Induced by One-Step Excitation and Two-Step Excitation
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 48, Issue 2, pp. 241-247 (1994)
Acrobat PDF (774 KB)
The two-step laser-enhanced ionization (LEI) technique is believed to be more sensitive and selective in trace analysis than one-step LEI. As reported previously, for optimization of the two-step LEI configuration, factors involving laser intensity, transition probability of second-step excitation, collisional ionization rates, and transition linewidth should be taken into account. We have derived a simple theoretical model in relation to these parameters that is rough but suitable in practice for characterizing the ion yields enhanced by two-step LEI over one-step LEI. According to the model, each parameter affecting the ion enhancement has been systematically examined and compared to the theoretical evaluation. The findings of the relative ion enhancement as a function of each related parameter are consistent with the model prediction, except for the effect of transition linewidth, which is underestimated theoretically due to the difficulty of establishing the experimental conditions.
King-Do Su and King-Chuen Lin, "Ion Enhancement Effect of Laser-Enhanced Ionization Induced by One-Step Excitation and Two-Step Excitation," Appl. Spectrosc. 48, 241-247 (1994)

dc.description.abstract | This thesis investigates the influence of social comparison (i.e. comparing ones outcomes with others such as neighbours, colleagues, etc) on consumption and risk-taking. The first essay (joint with Robert H. Frank and Adam S. Levine) shows how income growth of the top ranks of the income distribution can decrease overall saving rates through a so-called expenditure cascade. As the higher incomes increase their consumption, those ranked below them also increase their consumption in order not to fall behind too much, which causes those ranked below them to increase consumption as well, etc. These consumption cascades can thus lower saving rates throughout the income distribution. We provide empirical evidence for this phenomenon by showing that several proxies related to financial distress (bankruptcy rates, divorce rates, commute times) are positively associated with increases in inequality. The second essay argues shows that social comparison can induce risk-taking. It shows that with comparison convex preferences social comparison would induce both more risk taking and a preference for negatively correlated gambles. With a laboratory experiment we show that although only a third of subjects display the preference for negatively correlated outcomes typical of comparison-convex utility, those subjects take a lot more risks in a social setting, resulting in significantly higher overall risk-taking. This would both explain the puzzling amount of portfolio under-diversification among households, as well as excessive risk-taking among financial professionals in the run-up to the financial crisis. Finally, the third essay experimentally investigates whether subjects focus on rank or social distance when comparing their outcomes. In the theoretical literature both specifications have been used. No support for a social rank effect is found, but a higher social reference point is found to be positively associated with more risky choices, thus lending credibility to the social distance utility hypothesis. | en |

CUNA alert seeks cramdown opposition
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (1/27/09)—In a continuing effort to keep the spotlight on credit union concerns regarding mortgage bankruptcy legislation, the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) is seeking grassroots action to block current "cramdown" bills. CUNA issued an Action Alert Monday urging state leagues and their member credit unions to contact federal lawmakers to opposed S. 61 and H.R. 200 as currently written. Those bills would allow a bankruptcy court to modify a debtor's mortgage terms-- an action known as a "cramdown." In its alert, CUNA warns credit unions that the bills do not limit mortgage rewrites to the types predatory loans that fueled the current housing crisis; the provision would apply to all existing mortgages. "In the current crisis, credit unions are already working with members by stretching terms and lowering rates," CUNA noted in its communication. "Credit unions use strong underwriting standards to make mortgages to their members and should not be swept up with this far-reaching bankruptcy reform proposal. "We need to send the message that significant changes need to be made to this legislation before it is enacted into law, and in the absence of significant change, credit unions must oppose the legislation," CUNA urged. CUNA also encouraged credit unions to ask House and Senate lawmakers not to include "cramdown" legislation in an upcoming economic stimulus bill. CUNA last week sent letters to Capitol Hill to oppose broad cramdown authority and to suggest a more targeted approach. CUNA's Action Alert was sent in advance of today's scheduled House Judiciary Committee hearing on H.R. 200.

Congress Week short agenda long
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (1/27/09)--WASHINGTON (1/27/09)--This week will be a short one for Congress, but it's packed with credit union interest--including votes on an economic stimulus bill and bankruptcy legislation. The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) will monitor the meetings of the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Appropriations Committee as they mark up provisions of the Senate version of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009—the stimulus package. The House is expected to consider the legislation on Wednesday. CUNA also will monitor the House Judiciary Committee as it marks up H.R. 200, Helping Families Save Their Homes in Bankruptcy Act of 2009. The bill carries a provision that would allow bankruptcy judges to change—or "cramdown"—a borrower's mortgage terms. "We believe that the significance of the mark-up of the House version of the cramdown legislation on Tuesday is to give House leaders the ability to show that this legislation has received complete committee consideration," said Ryan Donovan, CUNA vice president of legislative affairs. "However, it also gives those concerned about the legislation an opportunity to attempt to improve the bill before it is considered by the full House, either on its own or as a part of a larger bill. We have been working closely with several offices that oppose the bill to identify areas where the legislation needs significant modification," he added. In a letter sent to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) and the panel's ranking member, Lamar Smith (R-Texas), CUNA said it opposes adding the legislation to a stimulus package. CUNA identified several changes that it wants before the bill proceeds through the legislative process. This week CUNA also will monitor:
* The Senate Banking Committee's hearing on the Madoff Investment Securities case on Tuesday; * The House Financial Services Committee's meeting on Tuesday to meet and approve the committee rules for the 111th Congress, and elect members to subcommittees; *The Senate Budget Committee's Wednesday hearing on the federal response to the housing and financial crisis; and *The Senate Budget Committee's Thursday hearing entitled, "The Global Economy: Outlook, Risks and Policy Implications."
No votes are expected in the House Thursday and Friday due to a Republican conference retreat.

Royce Camp join GAC lineup
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (1/27/09)—Two long-time Republican friends of credit unions from Capitol Hill, Reps. Ed Royce and Dave Camp, are scheduled to address the Credit Union National Association's (CUNA) 2009 Governmental Affairs Conference in February.
Royce, from California, is well known to credit unions as a primary sponsor to credit union legislation such as the Credit Union Regulatory Improvements Act (CURIA) and other regulatory relief measures. Royce will address the GAC during the morning general session on closing day of the conference Feb. 26. The GAC this year begins on Feb. 22.
Camp, from Michigan, has weighed in as a CURIA co-sponsor and was recently selected by the GOP to be ranking member on the important tax-policy committee, Ways and Means. He replaced Rep. Jim McCrery (R-La.), a member not known as a credit union supporter. Camp is also slated for Feb. 26. Royce and Camp are just part of a top of the line list of key speakers, including House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.), its ranking member, Rep. Spencer Bachus (R_Ala.), and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), formerly head the panel's subcommittee on financial institutions and consumer credit and now chairman of the Joint Economic Committee. Also among those scheduled to speak are House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.).

WOCCUs Afghanistan work outlined for U.S. Senator
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (1/27/09)--In a follow-up letter to a U.S. Senator's recent remarks about the country's involvement in Afghanistan, President/CEO Pete Crear of the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) said his organization strongly agrees that development assistance is needed there. Crear emphasized WOCCU's work in Afghanistan and the organization's willingness to help policymakers in a letter to a Wisconsin senator. The letter, sent Jan. 16 to Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.), responded to a statement Feingold made during Sen. Hillary Clinton's (D-N.Y.) confirmation hearing for U.S. Secretary of State. Feingold had noted the importance of increased military and development assistance in Afghanistan. WOCCU agrees with Feingold's position on Afghanistan, Crear said. WOCCU has helped create Afghanistan's first credit union system, enabling the country's 14 financial cooperatives to serve 27,000 consumers. The financial cooperatives have $1.1 million in savings, and 1,000 new members join each month, he added. As Secretary of State, Clinton will oversee the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which funds part of WOCCU's work in Afghanistan. WOCCU hopes that her "past support for microfinance will translate into increased development and microfinance work by USAID in Afghanistan and elsewhere," Crear said.

Make-up Picks #2
Saturday, 9 February 2013
Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powder in Candlelight, *Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, MAC Melba Blusher, Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzer
A recent purchase of mine is the Kevyn Aucoin Celestial powder in Candlelight, can I quickly say the name candlelight is spot on, and describes it perfectly. It offers a light golden, subtle sheen which looks beautiful. It's fair to say I'm addicted and have been wearing it daily... Sorry Dior Amber Diamond. It's especially suitable in this rut of dull weather we have at the moment.
For my base I've been reaching for Bourjois Healthy Mix, one I used to turn too for running errands when I knew I wouldn't be wearing makeup that long. Simply because of its ease of application, generous coverage and healthy finish. However, since running out of my trusty Armani Luminous Silk I have restrained from re-purchasing, just yet, and have been using this every single day. I've been getting quite a lot of compliments too! People are constantly asking me what I'm wearing and it's all thanks to this.
Another shopping the stash product is MAC Melba blush, can you believe I was so close to selling this one day? Having not used it in a year, I thought I had moved on, until my friend Laura convinced me it was beautiful. I decided to try it again, and it was love all over again (thanks Laura) It provides such warmth to my skin and I think really compliments my skin tone.
Bronzer wise, I forced myself to stop using my Dior Nude Bronzer and went back (once again) to Soleil Tan De Chanel. I always seem to use this, love it, move onto something else and forget how much I love it. It's the perfect creamy product to add colour, warmth and definition as well as making you look that little more flawless. I adore it, possible "holy grail".

I really want the soleil tan de chanel!! I always watch your videos on youtube, i love your style :)
could u check out my blog? really trying to get it up and running :)

xxI don't know why, but I just hate healthy mix foundation. Maybe it's because of my skin type or maybe i have seen better and CHEAPER ones. ;)
ReplyDeleteIve been wondering how KA Celestial would compare to Dior amber diamond! Is it a lot more subtle? I'd be really impressed, I find Dior to have a pretty tiny shimmer particle as is.
ReplyDeleteI have been contemplating buying Melba for over a year, I might just need to go for it!

Annelies Monseré always has had the urge to record many versions of one song and then remaining deeply in doubt which version to chose. For this release she did not chose. (Though this is not completely true - there are still more versions of the song - including an acapella version) She was interested in how different arrangements, tempo's, melodies and structures changed the expressive and aesthetic qualities of the song, convinced that no version is more 'essential' or 'authentic' than the other.
On the B-side, Richard Youngs offers a unique 9 minutes piece. With only guitars and vocals, "Be brave, this world" focuses on endless loops and a very specific rhythm that gives a fascinating, almost psychedelic feel. All through the track, the filtered guitar sways like a backwash, pounds a pulsatile rhythm, alternately sharp and oppressive or more of a thud, giving an impression of overwhelming and unpredictable swirl. Almost mantra vocals invariably support its fluctuations in a monotone, just like useless incentives in a dying world. Simply enchanting!

Genetic Test Round Up
February 7, 2013
Safeguard horse health by educating yourself about genetic disease tests available through AQHA.
From The American Quarter Horse Journal
Thanks to decades of research, we now know that defects in inheritable genes are responsible for some of the diseases that afflict some American Quarter Horses. The effects of these diseases are wide-ranging, from mild and manageable to severe and terminal. Passing these diseases on to successive generations often causes unnecessary suffering and also leads to financial losses for breeders.
Fortunately, genetic tests have been developed to help breeders identify affected horses, allowing them to make better decisions and avoid perpetuating these traits. AQHA offers a panel test for five genetic diseases – glycogen branching enzyme deficiency, heredity equine regional dermal asthenia, hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, malignant hyperthermia and polysaccharide storage myopathy.
Here's more about each of those diseases:
Glycogen Branching Enzyme Deficiency
- Disorder: An autosomal recessive disease caused by mutation in the GBE1 gene.
- Affects: Approximately 8-10 percent of American Quarter Horses are affected; Paints can be carriers. Appaloosas and other breeds that descend from the American Quarter Horse may be carriers. An estimated 3 or more percent of second- and third-term abortions are caused by GBED.
- Description: The mutation of the GBE1 gene reduces the function of the glycogen branching enzyme so that cardiac and skeletal muscle and the liver and the brain cannot store and mobilize glycogen. Because glycogen provides energy to the muscles, the inability to properly store and mobilize it leads to muscle weakness and eventually death.
GBED results in second- and third-term abortions and stillborn foals. Researchers think many aborted and stillborn foals whose cause of death was not previously identified might have had GBED. Foals that survive birth generally die or are euthanized within 8 weeks of age. Although a few foals have survived to the age of 4 months, GBED is always fatal.
Are you looking to learn more about equine diseases? With AQHA's "Your Horse's Health" DVD collection you'll be guided by veterinatians Dr. Tom Lenz and Dr. Kenton Morgan on the basics of diseases such as strangles, West Nile Virus and more.
Hereditary Equine Regional Dermal Asthenia
- Disorder: An autosomal recessive disease caused by mutation in peptidyl-prolylisomerase B (PPIB) gene.
- Affects: Approximately 3.5 percent of American Quarter Horses are carriers.
- Description: Collagen makes up connective tissues (skin, bones, tissue, muscles and cartilage). The mutation in the PPIB gene results in defective collagen that causes the outer layer of the skin to split from the layer underneath. In some cases, the outer layer of skin sloughs off entirely, leaving raw wounds.
Young horses with HERDA might appear to have an unusual number of nicks and cuts on their skin, but the disease is most often noticed then the horse starts training under saddle. The pressure of the saddle on the back causes the skin to tear and separate, leaving raw areas. These areas are slow to heal, and many horses with HERDA are euthanized due to slow-healing injuries.
Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis
- Disorder: An autosomal dominant disease caused by point mutation in the SCN4A gene.
- Affects: Approximately 1.5 percent of all Quarter Horses and as many as 56 percent of all halter horses.
- Description: The mutation in the sodium channel gene causes dysfunction in a specific type of sodium ion channel. These channels are involved in generating electrical impulses associated with muscle contraction. The mutation disrupts the proper conduction of these impulses, causing muscle tremors and even temporarily paralysis in affected horses. In severe cases, HYPP can cause collapse or sudden death.
HYPP traces back to the stallion Impressive. HYPP was seen in Impressive's sons and daughters, because to be expressed, the disease does not require two copies of the defective gene. However, successive generations of offspring that received two defective genes often show more severe versions of the disease.
Malignant Hyperthermia
- Disorder: An autosomal dominant disease caused by mutation in the ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1).
- Affects: American Quarter Horses and several other breeds; the percentage of affected horses is unknown.
- Description: The mutation results in a malfunctioning calcium-release channel of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle. The malfunction causes excessive calcium to be released into the myoplasm (the contractile part of a muscle cell). This can cause a hypermetabolic state (increases metabolism) and may result in death.
MH is triggered by the use of anesthetic halothane, the muscle relaxant succinylcholine and stress. Affected horses experience increased muscle metabolism, fever often exceeding 109 degrees F, excessive sweating, high heart rate, abnormal heart rhythm, shallow breathing, hypertension, muscle rigidity, breakdown of muscle tissue, muscle protein in the urine and/or death.
The "Your Horse's Health" DVD collection is a must-have for youth groups, aspiring veterinarians and anyone interested in keeping their horses healthy and happy. Even the most veteran horse owner will learn something essential to keeping their horse in great health.
Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy
- Disorder: An autosomal dominant disease caused by mutation in the glycogen synthase 1 (GYS1) gene.
- Affects: Eleven percent of American Quarter Horses. PSSM also affects many other breeds.
- Description: PSSM is a common form of tying-up. The mutation in the GYS1 gene causes unregulated synthesis of glycogen, which results in excessive sugar in muscle cells. This leads to muscle pain and stiffness, sweating, exercise intolerance and weakness. Because of the pain and stiffness, horses are reluctant to move.
Research conducted at the University of Minnesota has identified two types of PSSM. Genetic testing determined that some horses with PSSM had a specific mutation in GYS1 (PSSM Type 1) while others did not have the mutation in the GYS1 gene (PSSM Type 2). Horses identified as having a moderate to severe form of the disease according to the muscle biopsy were more likely to have PSSM Type 1 than horses with a milder version of the disease. Researchers have not yet determined what causes PSSM Type 2.
When horse owners order an AQHA panel test, AQHA will send a DNA kit, and the owner will mail it to the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at the University of California-Davis for testing. Once the tests are complete, AQHA will notify the owners and put the results on the horse's record.
The tests cost $85 for members and $125 for nonmembers. For the panel test in conjunction with the DNA test required for most breeding stock, the cost is $105 for members.
To order your test, call AQHA at 806-376-4811, or use our online form.
